I’m starting to use the Clocking work time feature of org-mode in emacs.
I recently watched The IBM Muppet Show, where IBM used muppets for an internal training video a long time ago.
Found a new blog to follow called The Healthy Skeptic

The Origin of the word Nerd is from a Dr. Seuss Book, or is it?
Today I reorganized my Documents folders into an Archive and a Projects folder for active things vs. things that I need but do not use all the time. There is a similar idea on life hacker.
I recently picked up some mind mapping software and am trying out making other things into a mind map. It seems like a very fast way to organize ideas.
Someday I may need the Magic SysRq key, and i’ll probably forget about how useful it is.

i8this day2
An easy quick dinner, steak on the grill and and veggies in the microwave. The second day of the #i8this challenge on twitter. @holisticguru who started the #i8this challenge asked for extra mindfulness during eating today to help with portion control. I am starting to believe that mindful portion control is only necessary when eating too many carbohydrate at meals, and instead by eating primal you will be full. Your insulin levels will be in check and you won’t want to eat more anyway.
#i8this challenge day 1
This is day one on the #i8this challenge on twitter. My challenge is to eat more primal style since I recently started reading the primal blueprint and moving to a more primal diet instead of paleo for athletes that I was following before.
Good Calories, Bad Calories
I just finished reading this interview and watching this video lecture by Gary Taubes. The author of Good Calories, Bad Calories. Now I want to go out and get the book. His presentation covers fat metabolism and how it is linked to insulin levels and not directly to calories taken in or burned. The text interview also mentions how he recommends a paleolithic type of diet.
